Chapter 84: Ominous Premonition_1

Translator: 549690339

Under Han Li’s construction, the Han Family had become a major clan in Fengyang Manor, with hundreds of direct relatives. Including various family servants, custodians, guards, and so on, there were thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

Han Li had refined a large quantity of Eighth Grade Elixirs and Spiritual Artifacts. The Han Mansion had also recruited Alchemists and Artifact Refiners as guest elders who produced many inferior, Ninth Grade elixirs and Spiritual Artifacts, providing the Han Family with a vast fortune and numerous Spirit Stones.

Now, the Han Mansion’s influence had spread to several surrounding provinces. Many of the Sects nearby counted descendants of the Han Mansion among their disciples, and there were quite a few in Tianxuan Mountain as well.

The secular wealth of the Han Family was primarily allotted to clan members unable to practice cultivation. Besides a fixed monthly allocation of resources, if someone wished to obtain more resources and wealth, they would have to help the family with tasks, with the easiest being to expand the family lineage.

The resources for cultivation, such as Spirit Stones, primarily fell into three categories: one was for the cultivation of Han Li’s concubines, the second was divided into three parts, one for those descendants cultivating in Sects, another part to reward capable descendants, and the last for the family’s guest elders and guards.

The third category was for family reserves, which were required to purchase Pill Formulas, Array Diagrams, Refining Blueprints, or the corresponding materials, and so on.

After advancing his Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Formation skills to the Seventh Grade, Han Li instructed his descendants to start collecting those items, but the results were not significant. After all, those in charge of the family affairs were capable but lacked the cultivation to access higher-level resources.

However, this was only temporary. Once those descendants who were cultivating in Sects returned with their learnings, the Han Mansion would truly become a cultivating family.

To secure the family’s safety, he had long since arranged the Five Elements Life and Death Formation provided by his master, Gongsun Yun, which, once activated, could withstand attacks from a real person of the God Refining Realm.

“Hu~”

Han Li took a long breath out. The thought of facing the naming ceremony in a few months left him feeling somewhat helpless.

After each concubine gave birth to descendants, Han Li would give them names to express his importance. For some juniors he was particularly fond of, he would personally name them.

According to the genealogy Han Li compiled, the naming tradition was as follows: “Eternity and Prosperity, Great Rise and Continuation, Upholding the Sacred and Succeeding the Ancestors, Blessed Glory, Wise and Virtuous, Splendid Transmission…”

“Big brother, what are you worrying about?”

At that moment, a voice as crisp as a silver bell rang out by Han Li’s ear.

Han Li looked over and saw that Yao Xi, the young girl, was dressed in pink today, looking fresh and tender, entirely different from the poorly dressed little girl he first met.

“It’s nothing. Have you remembered anything recently, Xi Xi?” Han Li asked, a trace of concern flashing in his eyes as he looked at the young girl.

Some time ago, Yao Xi had complained of a headache and experienced strange scriptures and memories in her mind.

After asking her to elaborate, Han Li discovered that it was the first layer of a powerful cultivation technique, but he did not know the exact strength of it.

Those inexplicable memories also contained some place names, but upon checking, Han Li found that they did not exist in the Qianyuan Divine Province.

“Not at all, lately Xi Xi has been doing well~” The girl giggled, her face innocent and carefree.

Han Li nodded, not probing further, instead continuing to ponder other issues.

The turmoil of the Devil Cultivators’ slaughter had long since passed. Neither the Yinyang Sect nor the Daqian Empire persisted in dwelling on the matter. The Mother of No Life had not caused any more trouble, and although the Da Jing Dynasty seemed to be restless, they had not made a move. Even the vanguard of the Buddha Domain, the Kurong Sect, had quieted down…

All of a sudden, the entire Xuan Domain became peaceful, as if it had returned to the stability of the days before.

Yet, Han Li had an ominous premonition in his heart, causing him some unease and uncertainty about the source of this ominous feeling.

Huozhou City, Royal Manor.

Mr. Lan put down the book in his hands and watched Prince Wu’an fishing, hesitating to speak.

“Why do you hesitate, Mr. Lan?” Prince Wu’an’s voice sounded.

Mr. Lan sighed softly and finally spoke, “Prince, your mind is disturbed.”

“Is it?”

Prince Wu’an neither confirmed nor denied.

Mr. Lan did not say anything more.

“Since they wish to play, then this prince will gladly accompany them in their game,” said Prince Wu’an as he stood up, his demeanor vibrant and a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He had not wanted to cause further trouble, but those people insisted on provoking him.

Lately, Prince Wu’an had received numerous secret reports; he had everything under his control, and now he was curious to see who else would dare to emerge.

A flicker of light passed through Mr. Lan’s eyes.

He found that, ever since arriving in Huozhou, Prince Wu’an’s behavior seemed somewhat different from before, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint the change just yet.

Leizhou, Dingji Manor.

Atop a hundred-meter-tall hill, a figure suddenly appeared — it was the very Gang Yuan Realm Great Master from the Diancang Sect who had vanished before.

Before his disappearance, he was merely at the second level of the Gang Yuan Realm, but upon his return, he had reached the ninth level. Advancing seven levels in a mere five months was indeed a startling feat.

The Great Master’s face was flushed with excitement as he recalled everything he had experienced in the underground world over the past few months, which only intensified his agitation.

“Huff~”

He exhaled several breaths in succession to calm his emotions. He abandoned the idea of secretly spreading the word in the city ahead and immediately turned to leave.

The matter was of great importance; he needed to rush back to the Diancang Sect and inform the Sect Hierarch at once.

Traveling with utmost haste, the Great Master returned to the Er Sea of Cang Mountain in less than half a day and reported the matter to the Diancang Master.

The Diancang Master was shocked to the core and immediately set off to the Erhai to request an audience with Sect Master Tianxiang.

The newly established covert sect founded by Lu Tianxiang was named the Tian Xiang Sect, with her as the Sect Hierarch, while the main body remained the Diancang Sect.

Lu Tianxiang had also just returned to the Erhai not long ago and agreed to meet with the two upon learning of the urgent matter.

Some time ago, three Elders from the Yinyang Sect approached her, negotiated for a while, and made some offers. Lu Tianxiang considered them and agreed to some of the terms.

Thereafter, she temporarily left the Erhai and hurried back to the Chaotic Domain, to the depths of the towering mountain ranges, where she met with a bigwig from the Mysterious Forces.

Lu Tianxiang relayed the agreement she made with the three Elders of the Yinyang Sect to the bigwig, who had already received part of the intelligence. Hearing Lu Tianxiang’s words, he became even more certain.

The two conversed, and the bigwig instructed Lu Tianxiang to return to her hiding place and continue cooperating with the Yinyang Sect, without joining the next operation for the time being.

To further destabilize the Daqian Empire and concurrently test Prince Wu’an, the Mysterious Forces had decided to stage a major event within three years to intimidate those sects aligned with the Daqian Empire.

Lu Tianxiang met with the Diancang Master and the Great Master in a grand hall beside the Erhai.

She sat high upon her throne in the depths of the grand hall, her halo shimmering behind her head, her long, jade-like legs crossed to display a beautiful scene.

Yet, the Diancang Master and the Great Master kept their heads lowered, not daring to overstep in the slightest.

“Speak.”

The authoritative voice of Lu Tianxiang echoed in the grand hall, causing both men to jolt.

The Gang Yuan Realm Master took a deep breath, stepped forward, and, with his head still bowed, reported, “Your Holiness, this subordinate discovered a secret territory within Dingji Manor that holds great opportunities.”

“I was trapped in the secret territory for several months, allowing my cultivation to surge forward dramatically, breaking through seven levels, and I also accidentally uncovered a tremendous secret.”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, his face flushing with enthusiasm.

Lu Tianxiang’s pupils contracted slightly.
